No lie, I threw my phone on my bed yesterday and my son said "Man, must've been a brutal loss"... No kid, we won by thirty and we should've lost LOL This game eh!!??
It seems like Jake is finally getting actually annoyed by the amount of griefers in this game, and honestly, I can’t blame him. I once had a game where we lost top goal, wich wasn’t that big of a deal, for me, but it was a very big deal for our Dodrio, who just proceeded to run around in base, while also basic attacking the air. I reported him, but obviously nothing happened. We lost that match, because of course we did. Or did we….? I can’t remember lol
The fun part is remembering that you would get a mic ban for getting on and saying vertbatim "come on guys we can do this" AND you'd lose points for rage quitting... But he/she don't get zilch for basically afking the game. O_O
@@CronoXpono Exactly. It’s so stupid that you can only report someone when they actually *left* the game. And the mic thing is also really dumb. They don’t even check if people actually say those words. You just lose points immediately, even if you’re just, like you said, cheering for your team.
@@VioletteDrawz I got a ban for asking the team to rotate, for asking them to back off and farm. I just leave it on mute and my the gods be ever in my favor 😂 🤦♂️ which is also why I’ll never put a dime into the game 🤷♂️
Had a match Dodrio just standing there attacking the air too. So annoyed on how bad these players are..... Kept losing like this and we deserve to lose. So glad Spragles Won but not with these type of players.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. This is truly reflective of so many situations where bad players ping all game, deprioritizing bottom regis, missing important fights but calling for less strategic ones, and then backcapping. oh lord. Can relate so much
That's actually brilliant. Maybe a good sport bonus to help w ranking up. I don't mind losing but boy, it feels like griefing wastes your time AND loses your points AND loses your games AND makes it harder to solo queue whilst the griefer gets..a loss?
Maybe find also an other way than reward player by the amount that you score during the game We all know that backcapping "carry" that make the team lose the Ray fight, end up MVP, got +15 points due to over 100 score, and probably think that they are a great player
I just want to get paired with people at my skill level. I just had to get off because I kept getting paired with people who have around a 47-50% win rate and clearly just didn’t know what they were doing. We ended up losing multiple matches thanks to them. It’s impossible to play a supporter when your jungler stops farming and just dives the enemy and nobody else takes the jungle so either you stick with the team and try to heal or try and arduously farm buffs as egg bomb Blissey while they feed the enemy.
Maybe make it 200 coins per day for good behavior instead of like 10... and then for those who've already bought all the mons. They can exchange coins for item enhancers or skins
I'm legitimately curious as to how these kind of players feel after winning. They're well aware they were just pinging all game and got carried to victory but I have a sense they're sitting there thinking they were the sole reason you won
They’re sitting there just going “See! If people just played like me we’d win 100% of the time! Gosh why is the meta always so wrong?!” Hopefully one day they will all be relegated to their own little world of 47% win rate players only ranked matches so that they can play leftovers, and SpAtk Items on their physical attack carries to their heart’s content.
Haven't played much unite since Scarlet/Violet came out but watching your videos made it so much easier to deal with these kinds of people. Where I used to tilt, now I laugh at it. to you all.
The worst part about all of this is that they are probably below 50% winrate and still think other people are the problem. I have always wanted for the game to separate people by winrate. Below 50% should put people on a different queue. It is just better for everyone.
Absolutely I keep getting players who fundamentally don’t know how to play the game and when I check 90% of the time they’re below 50%. Just matched with the same guy twice and both times they wouldn’t team fight at 2:00 with us and kept pinging “let’s fight together” or “let’s gather at center”. I get you want to camp a goal on the off chance the enemy has a dumb teammate who wants to backcap at 2:00 but now you’re just that dumb teammate who is losing us the team fight and thus the game. Guy just had no idea what was going on. Didn’t even start to come to center until we were all dead then tried to snipe Ray as a Pikachu.
Also I was being sarcastic about camping the goal being a reasonable play. It’s fine if you’re running around the middle area blocking where someone might run to score if you still have a T2 goal up but even in that case be close enough to the team to immediately pivot to the team fight if it’s starting. Even if someone scored winning the team fight and having the ability to take Ray is so much more important.
I play on Japanese server, and people here actually use “Thanks” unironically. Most of the time, the “Thanks” is, in fact, an indicator of someone being truly thankful. There’s still trolls and griefers, but they don’t think to spam “Thanks”. Irony and sarcasm is not really part of Japanese culture. It is really uplifting. Often, a jungler will ping "Thanks" after the team wins an objective. Or "You can do it"" when the team loses a fight. The pings are being used to its intended morale-boosting effect. Maybe removing this ping for EU and USA servers makes sense, but I wouldn't want it removed from the game as a whole!
the thumbnail says it all edit at 4 minutes in: it's crazy to me that the Snorlax died ONCE and immediately started spamming thanks. the second time they threw themselves into a terrible 1v3 on the enemy goal situation, spammed I need backup and then resumed thanks spamming. 6 minutes in: the A9 seemed alright at first but then started getting ping happy. Can't tell if trolling cause the Snorlax is doing it, or they're duoing, or had one poor engagement and started blaming the Cinderace. 9:10: good lord the Snorlax really went to back cap with 0 reason to do so. over a minute left, whole enemy team dead. why. End of the game: A9 dies and throws up a surrender vote because I'm absolutely sure it was them. I don't envy anyone that plays this for a living cause yeesh, not being able to take breaks will make you wanna rip your hair out.
What we need for this game: Avoid Teammate button so we don't constantly get these kind of players in our team. And mute any Teammate entirely. Not only their mic but also pingas as well
I had 2 games recently, I did something to upset a lane Dreepy either pregame or early game. This was solo q and I don't use in game vc. They proceeded to afk in base and spam thanks if I was near them. The other game I was a Slowbro switching off of Urshifu so another teammate could pick it. I usually main Blastoise so when someone else picked it, it was super disappointing to see that player spam thanks and intentionally throw the game in my face. They hydropumped the Regieleki right into the goal as I was autoing it. I try to farm to an appropriate level, show up to objectives, help teammates level up, and as a defender put myself in harm's way to save squishier teammates. I don't know what else to do to avoid teammates that turn into griefers over small things.
The amount of of toxicity that goes unchecked in this game is insane. Obviously, there are probably other games out there with even more toxicity, but the way that TiMi and Tencent just turn a blind eye to all of this game's glaring problems is just wild.
Recently on stream I had several surrendered games that were entirely against my will. Every game had "Thanks!' pings, and most of them were VERY winnable. Something needs to be done 🙃
At this point they do it on purpose. They know they get away with it. Lets hope the developers do something about this cause it makes the game not fun to play at all.
I feel you. I played with 2 speedsters on my team and 3 all rounders on the next game. What made it worse is that both games are ranked. I've been asking them during the pokemon selection stage if they're sure about their picks. I always adjust to pick last just to make sure our lineup is "balanced."
3 all rounders team is fine, all rounders are that good that you can bring 5 of them and still rock the game. It's different case with other type though
Love your videos, just getting back into unite and really happy to see that your videos have stayed just as good and often have gotten better! It's great having a creator like you in our community
Yeah, a couple games there are some level 4 Pokémon that refuse to evolve on either my team or the opposing team. Winning those matches doesn't even feel good, it feels kind of bad really. Thanks for keeping things positive though, I feel like we really need more of it just in general.
Man, that Snorlax is a pure crap at playing defender. He provides no value to the team like at all. Not even offlaning, defending the goal, just trolling.
Feels so true, the moment a bunch of bad teammates win despite losing TERRIBLY in the first half only because they got a lucky shot with Ray, they think that they carried the whole team and continue playing like that or even worse
It's nice to see content creators for this game talking about this issue because it really is becoming an overwhelming problem. I still feel like the Devs won't do anything about it just based on track record, but more visibility to the issue at least let's them know how much of a problem it is.
Be grateful about that, not only does the message block score and KO updates, it also shoves any actual important messages out, like who's attacking a Regi and if anyone is defending a goal
These sort of annoying players need harsher punishment. -10 fair play is a light slap on the wrists. Sometimes you report and nothing is done so they get away.
Hello my favorite resident content cowboy, yee-haw! I just wanted to mention a build used by a pro Sylveon player, which was Rapid Fire Scarf, Muscle Band & Focus Band with a black & green emblems build (I personally used a set up you actually recommended, which also has 2 whites) & the moves are Mystical Fire & Draining Kiss. This build was brought to my attention by the very lovely SuperTeeds, I tried it myself & it worked great so far!
Yay my Sylveon build! Sad it was such a mentally straining game, it's like these players just keep increasing.. Appreciate you still keeping at it, thank you!!! All the love
At first I was like “that’s too bad, that hasn’t happen to me yet this season when I initially watched it” but now I lost multiple games in a row since everyone else on my team kept taking wild Pokémon so I wasn’t able to level up. Whenever I died too, everyone kept spamming “thanks”
I feel your pain, sucks when bad players get the W, but I gotta tell myself I got the W as well and in the next game that player won't be so lucky to have good players around to carry them, love the content by the way, was lucky enough to play a game with you once and was buzzing about it, keep up the good work 👍
The people who play this game aren’t mature. It’s either literal kids, man babies, or girls that don’t know any better. All of which won’t stop playing ranked. Rank is the new standard because standard is so terrible. I hate this community and I hate the company that auto bans you for comms when you literally say nothing insulting. This game rewards griefers.
The worst I had was someone pinging me all game, from the very beginning of the game, for presumably going with a non-meta jungler? This was when they still had the "[pokemon] needs backup!" ping, and it took the fun out of Unite for a few days. If they don't want to ban these people, they need to at least give us a mute ping button.
Players that I admire: - Gamers who do their best and LITERALLY KO EVERYONE in spite of the worst hands dealt. But most importantly... - Cool cowboys who give their team a fighting chance by just doing their best, no matter what goes wrong. It might not be easy to see sometimes, Jake, but I appreciate the perseverance from cool cowboys like you. Even if your best isn't enough, seeing you try your hardest anyways inspires me. Ride on, cowboy. Yee haw. ✌️❤️
They're truly at a different level. You'd thing they would use such great mastery of the chat system to help the team in some meaninful way. But nope, of course they don't. Even bots use the chat better, and all they do is use Gather Here and Retreat
I sometimes really deliberately lose because I refuse to help the toxic players to rise up in the ranks. I wanted them to stay in lower ranks where I don't have to face them after I reached masters.
Nah, I get like this too. When I have someone who is just pissed off cause they suck at the game. I just wanna lose and I get so angry when we actually get Ray. We SHOULD lose but I can't think like that cause when I see everyone else actually played the game and not being a ping master. And this pisses me off more cause it's a defender who's suppose to zone enemies. Yes, you're gonna die somerimes, what you mean! XD
Its so good to see realistic content, cuz most of the soloQ players have to deal with this kind of stupid people. Thank you for sharing Jake! You carried 🥶
I gave up on this game. I wish I could’ve kept playing but with the way that the dev teams have been going I just can’t. I’m off to try league. Hopefully unite improves
Just a warning, league for me was 10 times more tilting than unite. Community was worse by far and there were so many bought accounts and smurf accounts when I started it was impossible to climb. I started playing in like season 9 when everyone already knew what they were doing.
This what happens a lot in most of my games. Though what bugs me about this is that unlike that Snorlax,it's mostly a lot of the REALLY strong Pokemon you see in the meta,and these players LOVE to grief and ping when they don't get their way or they lose a fight with very poor strategy. Like my last match was with a Delphox and they sure loved to point and ping everyone else,while they were busy in the fight WE SHOULD have won and securing objectives
Honestly, it is not totally players' fault that there are some people like this. The environment created by the game has a good share of blame in this. A lot of the times, one bad/frustrated player can decide the fate of the whole match and honestly that is terrible. I've seen several of Jake's videos and he tries to be optimistic and talk nice things about the game (a bit too much so in my opinion but hey he's just trying to keep positive vibes in the community), but watching Jake create multiple such videos makes me think that he is on the verge of being heartbroken with this game. There is only so much negativity a person can handle. It's okay, Jake. A lot of us here love you despite the game for who you are.
Yeah, i get that. After some games i feel like "yeah, obviously we lost that" or "whe didn't deserve that win at all...". Especially with the "thanks" players, or the ones that don't evolve but take all farm always.
With just the first few minutes and the first dunk phase u can already tell that this snorlax is not an experienced player, then he just keeps performing bad then worst throughout the match ,such a stressful teammate
I’m just her following the advice of the mid-video request. I’d like to say something nice about the Snorlax this video. His consistent team-wide communication really brought a sense of of cohesiveness and camaraderie to the team. I think he was the true MVP.
All of you who go through this, I feel your pain. Immature children like this should not be allowed to play this game because it just makes it not fun for the rest of us who actually know what to do. Do you know how much effort it takes to be that annoying and for what? What do you hope to accomplish doing this? All it's doing is making your team hate you and not want you on their team ever again. I could never, I'm just too lazy. Hopefully one day, the devs will do something about this. Maybe only five pings or less per person, I don't know, and that includes surrender votes. Happy gaming, ya'll. This right here just sucks, it really does. It's sad that people can't just have fun without ruining it for other players. Smh.
I am stuck in ultra 3 for the last 2 days unable to go higher coz I always keep getting shitty teams whenever I have 2-3 stars in ultra 3. Super frustrating tbh.
You know it's bad when the sweetest and most positive content creator starts losing his mind. I really hate how mindless some players are but can't really be blamed when it's a pokemon IP, what would you expect.
I feel your pain, I play yesterday and I pretty excel in that game well, I farm/steal objectives from the enemy, I don't engage in useless team fights and keep farming for the late game. And our team mate "Sableye" keeps pinging me for no reason and makes me tilt that I want to loose the game. But guess what we still win because of my 3 other good team mates despite of enemy steals Ray. And that Sableye has 45% wr.
I wish I could share the clip I took here, but I had a game as Mime laning with Azu, and I had gotten KO’ed trying to protect Azu while they went back to goal to heal, then Azu proceeded to push enemy goal alone, against 3 people, got KO’ed while I was still on respawn timer, and then pinged thanks. I was appalled. Edit: after watching the full vid, people who play like that Snorlax are actually the worst
Not claiming this applies to you Jake, but 9/10 I see someone complain about how bad the player base is, it dawns on me that they are likely the problem. I guarantee this Snorlax left this game thinking “man my team was terrible and I carried”. No doubt the player base is sub par on the whole, but I ask everyone who reads this to really reflect on your own plays and decisions before blaming everyone else. Keep up the great content. Yeehaw
I encountered a Venusaur like that and same I really wanted to lose but I was able to secure Rayquaza (as an Eldegoss) and we won the game from there. In contrast to one of my solo q games last night when our team composition was really bad (sableye, 2 speedsters, and 2 attackers) but my teammates and I didn't give up until the end and we won that match. Why can't all games be like this? 😭 QOTD: TO WHOEVER'S READING THIS, YOU ARE VALID AND ILYSM !!!
Me and my buddies had 5 back to back games where people were akf, were back capping, never went to objectives and would farm during rayquaza. We all quit this game.

Man both the Thanks-gamer and the "go score 50 at 2:00 player combined into one nightmare I was so stressed watching that
Something nice
Your beautiful bro keep up the good work
Honestly, I feel like the game needs to yes punish bad behavior but more reward and incentivize good behavior
YES
That's actually brilliant. Maybe a good sport bonus to help w ranking up. I don't mind losing but boy, it feels like griefing wastes your time AND loses your points AND loses your games AND makes it harder to solo queue whilst the griefer gets..a loss?
Maybe find also an other way than reward player by the amount that you score during the game

The thing is they don't think they got carried. They actually think they won the game and their pings made bad players a little better
You were so angry that you accidentally put Buzzwole emblems instead of Sylveon ones.
haha
are you that snorlax 🥵
I like how these type of players can spam ping faster than spamming their character's abilities
Haven't played much unite since Scarlet/Violet came out but watching your videos made it so much easier to deal with these kinds of people. Where I used to tilt, now I laugh at it.
to you all.
It actually takes some skill to spam Thanks so consistently while playing the game. Lots of practice, I imagine.
True
That's a lot like saying: you need to know how to play the game well to troll effectively(which is true)
That's top comment candidate 😂😂
Man. The comment at the end just summarizes players like this so perfectly. “His whole team has to win in spite of him.”
The games have been rough this season.
I remember when you pinged a teammate it would say “*insert Pokémon here* needs backup” and I think they should bring that back
My guy snore has “check it out” “thanks” “help me” and “I need backup” what goes through his head when he’s making his chat wheel
Check it out is the default when u click someone or someone
@@llthgig ok I gochu but he still was using it in the non intended way
Sometimes I close my eyes to go to bed and all I hear is “thanks”
The worst part about all of this is that they are probably below 50% winrate and still think other people are the problem.
I have always wanted for the game to separate people by winrate. Below 50% should put people on a different queue. It is just better for everyone.

Even if someone scored winning the team fight and having the ability to take Ray is so much more important.
Situations like this make me want to be able to change teams so I can knock out my awful teammates.
Sylveon looking good, looks like it's been liftin' lately
haha
Need to be strong to carry the trolls
Wrong emblem set! Sorry. It’s black green

When we block someone, it should stop them from being paired with us. Period
i’m so excited for unite rivals!!!! thank you Jake. gosh i freakin love you
the thumbnail says it all
edit at 4 minutes in: it's crazy to me that the Snorlax died ONCE and immediately started spamming thanks. the second time they threw themselves into a terrible 1v3 on the enemy goal situation, spammed I need backup and then resumed thanks spamming.

Avoid Teammate button so we don't constantly get these kind of players in our team. And mute any Teammate entirely. Not only their mic but also pingas as well
it was the ninetails as well, not just the snorlax. misery loves company.
TiMi seriously needs an option to turn off teammates' pings for the love of all things good
@@DuskLegendyes and no. League at least lets you pick and choose who. Maybe in the in game score menu you could click on a player to mute just him
@@EVCypher That's already an option to mute in game mics, I don't see why it couldn't also used to mute their pings.
Sounds like it's time for another "Listen to This Stream While You Play and Chill" Video. Maybe we all need it with all the people playing like this.

3 all rounders team is fine, all rounders are that good that you can bring 5 of them and still rock the game. It's different case with other type though
3 all rounders is good, but other roles with 3 mons is bad, cause all rounders are well balanced in every aspect, heck even 5 all rounders also good
Jake's angry arc has been interesting
10:09 Can we get an F in the chat for that Slowbro
F

I can't believe these players are actual adults, but they likely are. These kinds of players are just absolutely baffling to witness.
Love your videos, just getting back into unite and really happy to see that your videos have stayed just as good and often have gotten better! It's great having a creator like you in our community
Community of Thanks players increasing day by day
Yeah, a couple games there are some level 4 Pokémon that refuse to evolve on either my team or the opposing team. Winning those matches doesn't even feel good, it feels kind of bad really. Thanks for keeping things positive though, I feel like we really need more of it just in general.

I still feel like the Devs won't do anything about it just based on track record, but more visibility to the issue at least let's them know how much of a problem it is.
An easy fix for this is the "mute player" function also mutes their pings
So that way you don't have a toxic person annoying you through VC or Pings
I hear so much about thanks gamers, and have sadly (not actually sadly), never encountered one myself.
Be grateful about that, not only does the message block score and KO updates, it also shoves any actual important messages out, like who's attacking a Regi and if anyone is defending a goal

They really need to take the thanks ping out of this game. No one uses it in a good light anyways. Besides, you can give thanks by spinning. :)
These sort of annoying players need harsher punishment. -10 fair play is a light slap on the wrists. Sometimes you report and nothing is done so they get away.
Wooof - the constant pings are so rough. Way to power through Jake!
I appreciate you calling them out
I wouldn't wish that Snorlax as a teammate on my worst enemy
Eevee have a attacker build? even if they are a special attacker?
nothing tilts me more than this game but at the same time i cant stop playing
Its funny that the score at the end is 707... I means its literally LOL. It's like the game's saying "hold up you actually won this?? Lmao"
I cringe every time someone says “thanks” IRL
Hello my favorite resident content cowboy, yee-haw!
I just wanted to mention a build used by a pro Sylveon player, which was Rapid Fire Scarf, Muscle Band & Focus Band with a black & green emblems build (I personally used a set up you actually recommended, which also has 2 whites) & the moves are Mystical Fire & Draining Kiss.
This build was brought to my attention by the very lovely SuperTeeds, I tried it myself & it worked great so far!
Yay my Sylveon build! Sad it was such a mentally straining game, it's like these players just keep increasing.. Appreciate you still keeping at it, thank you!!! All the love
At first I was like “that’s too bad, that hasn’t happen to me yet this season when I initially watched it” but now I lost multiple games in a row since everyone else on my team kept taking wild Pokémon so I wasn’t able to level up. Whenever I died too, everyone kept spamming “thanks”
I feel your pain, sucks when bad players get the W, but I gotta tell myself I got the W as well and in the next game that player won't be so lucky to have good players around to carry them, love the content by the way, was lucky enough to play a game with you once and was buzzing about it, keep up the good work 👍
1:19 That extra HP in the Emblem set saved you!
The people who play this game aren’t mature. It’s either literal kids, man babies, or girls that don’t know any better. All of which won’t stop playing ranked. Rank is the new standard because standard is so terrible. I hate this community and I hate the company that auto bans you for comms when you literally say nothing insulting. This game rewards griefers.
The worst I had was someone pinging me all game, from the very beginning of the game, for presumably going with a non-meta jungler? This was when they still had the "[pokemon] needs backup!" ping, and it took the fun out of Unite for a few days. If they don't want to ban these people, they need to at least give us a mute ping button.
Players that I admire:
- Gamers who do their best and LITERALLY KO EVERYONE in spite of the worst hands dealt.
But most importantly...
- Cool cowboys who give their team a fighting chance by just doing their best, no matter what goes wrong.
It might not be easy to see sometimes, Jake, but I appreciate the perseverance from cool cowboys like you. Even if your best isn't enough, seeing you try your hardest anyways inspires me.
Ride on, cowboy. Yee haw. ✌️❤️
genuine question, you think these types of people are viewers who know your username and specifically want to grief your games?
It sucks that reporting such toxic behavior does NOTHING. It’s so infuriating when they spam thanks and check it out
I'm in Vet right now. Good to see that the player base doesn't change much as I move forward from here lol.
Nice buzzwole emblem set for the sylveon game
They're truly at a different level. You'd thing they would use such great mastery of the chat system to help the team in some meaninful way. But nope, of course they don't.
Even bots use the chat better, and all they do is use Gather Here and Retreat
I started in Ultra and the people in Veteran are blowing my mind with how useless they are.
I sometimes really deliberately lose because I refuse to help the toxic players to rise up in the ranks. I wanted them to stay in lower ranks where I don't have to face them after I reached masters.
Nah, I get like this too. When I have someone who is just pissed off cause they suck at the game. I just wanna lose and I get so angry when we actually get Ray. We SHOULD lose but I can't think like that cause when I see everyone else actually played the game and not being a ping master. And this pisses me off more cause it's a defender who's suppose to zone enemies. Yes, you're gonna die somerimes, what you mean! XD
I've actually blocked that snorlax before.
Its so good to see realistic content, cuz most of the soloQ players have to deal with this kind of stupid people. Thank you for sharing Jake! You carried 🥶
This happens to me all the time it honestly makes you not want to play. I end up taking a break from this game and came back this season.
I gave up on this game. I wish I could’ve kept playing but with the way that the dev teams have been going I just can’t. I’m off to try league. Hopefully unite improves
Just a warning, league for me was 10 times more tilting than unite. Community was worse by far and there were so many bought accounts and smurf accounts when I started it was impossible to climb. I started playing in like season 9 when everyone already knew what they were doing.
This what happens a lot in most of my games. Though what bugs me about this is that unlike that Snorlax,it's mostly a lot of the REALLY strong Pokemon you see in the meta,and these players LOVE to grief and ping when they don't get their way or they lose a fight with very poor strategy. Like my last match was with a Delphox and they sure loved to point and ping everyone else,while they were busy in the fight WE SHOULD have won and securing objectives
I always lose these games. I will never carry a troll. If they troll, I troll. Good luck to them in their adventure in becoming Great League again.
Honestly, it is not totally players' fault that there are some people like this. The environment created by the game has a good share of blame in this. A lot of the times, one bad/frustrated player can decide the fate of the whole match and honestly that is terrible. I've seen several of Jake's videos and he tries to be optimistic and talk nice things about the game (a bit too much so in my opinion but hey he's just trying to keep positive vibes in the community), but watching Jake create multiple such videos makes me think that he is on the verge of being heartbroken with this game. There is only so much negativity a person can handle. It's okay, Jake. A lot of us here love you despite the game for who you are.
I hate giving trolls like that a win too. But you had a FIRE sylveon game. What a nice unite play and cleanup there in the middle
Yeah, i get that. After some games i feel like "yeah, obviously we lost that" or "whe didn't deserve that win at all...".
Especially with the "thanks" players, or the ones that don't evolve but take all farm always.
welcome to summoner's rift
With just the first few minutes and the first dunk phase u can already tell that this snorlax is not an experienced player, then he just keeps performing bad then worst throughout the match ,such a stressful teammate
That's an odd looking sylveon. So buff.
You got lucky so many times, but also I appreciate you being sylveon she hella underplayed
Tilted Spragels is such a mood lol
I’m just her following the advice of the mid-video request. I’d like to say something nice about the Snorlax this video. His consistent team-wide communication really brought a sense of of cohesiveness and camaraderie to the team. I think he was the true MVP.
Looks like the average solo queue game
I’m so confused by the emblems on sylvie 😅😮 someone explain to me
All of you who go through this, I feel your pain. Immature children like this should not be allowed to play this game because it just makes it not fun for the rest of us who actually know what to do. Do you know how much effort it takes to be that annoying and for what? What do you hope to accomplish doing this? All it's doing is making your team hate you and not want you on their team ever again. I could never, I'm just too lazy. Hopefully one day, the devs will do something about this. Maybe only five pings or less per person, I don't know, and that includes surrender votes. Happy gaming, ya'll. This right here just sucks, it really does. It's sad that people can't just have fun without ruining it for other players. Smh.
That snorlax has played almost 5k games
I am stuck in ultra 3 for the last 2 days unable to go higher coz I always keep getting shitty teams whenever I have 2-3 stars in ultra 3. Super frustrating tbh.
You know it's bad when the sweetest and most positive content creator starts losing his mind. I really hate how mindless some players are but can't really be blamed when it's a pokemon IP, what would you expect.
I feel your pain, I play yesterday and I pretty excel in that game well, I farm/steal objectives from the enemy, I don't engage in useless team fights and keep farming for the late game. And our team mate "Sableye" keeps pinging me for no reason and makes me tilt that I want to loose the game. But guess what we still win because of my 3 other good team mates despite of enemy steals Ray. And that Sableye has 45% wr.
I wish I could share the clip I took here, but I had a game as Mime laning with Azu, and I had gotten KO’ed trying to protect Azu while they went back to goal to heal, then Azu proceeded to push enemy goal alone, against 3 people, got KO’ed while I was still on respawn timer, and then pinged thanks. I was appalled.
Edit: after watching the full vid, people who play like that Snorlax are actually the worst
I wish I could still win when I get a troll team mate😭
Not claiming this applies to you Jake, but 9/10 I see someone complain about how bad the player base is, it dawns on me that they are likely the problem. I guarantee this Snorlax left this game thinking “man my team was terrible and I carried”. No doubt the player base is sub par on the whole, but I ask everyone who reads this to really reflect on your own plays and decisions before blaming everyone else.
Keep up the great content. Yeehaw
He's just playing your challenge: Troll to Masters! Let him be 😌
I encountered a Venusaur like that and same I really wanted to lose but I was able to secure Rayquaza (as an Eldegoss) and we won the game from there. In contrast to one of my solo q games last night when our team composition was really bad (sableye, 2 speedsters, and 2 attackers) but my teammates and I didn't give up until the end and we won that match. Why can't all games be like this? 😭
QOTD: TO WHOEVER'S READING THIS, YOU ARE VALID AND ILYSM !!!
Me and my buddies had 5 back to back games where people were akf, were back capping, never went to objectives and would farm during rayquaza. We all quit this game.
They should just put a time limit on pings so you can't spam them easy solution. That way you save them
I also don't want to win the games where the Decidueye on my team that is playing Spirit Shackle secures Rayquaza with a point-blank Unite.
Love how , no matter how cute MOBA look , well , it stay a MOBA :D
